Living on Madeira's North Coast: Stunning Sunsets You Can't Miss!
"Living on Madeira's North Coast: Stunning Sunsets You Can't Miss!"
Living on the North coast is less popular amongst expats but for us it is the lush landscape, quietness and beautiful sunsets that make it the perfect location.
We do just need to share that this beautiful beach seen at the beginning of the video is normally hidden under the ocean and in the two and a half years we have lived here the tide has only gone out this far once.
If you come to Ponta Delgada in a normal low tide there is no beach just rocks.
Walking on the beach and watching the sunset was a very magical moment for us.

    Good to see you back! I spent 7 month in terrible Argentina and am back in my beloved Coimbra since July 24. I´m carefully watching the temperatures in the north and, if things go as planned, will be a week in Santana for September near to the Continente. Then afterwards, 15 days in Funchal for the 2025 fireworks !!! Maybe we´ll meet !!

    I am from Madeira Island-Funchal...and never lived there. My parents decided to go to Brazil when I was only 3 months baby!. I went to visit my island (place of birth) for the firts time when I was 30 years old. To live there is my biggest dream. I grew up in love for Madeira!. What is funny is....I live in the UK (the place you are from) 🥰. I've been living here since 2006 ...(almost 18 years). I am truly happy for you guys Madeira is so beuatiful!. For me...the moost beautiful place in the world. U would love to know what Area is that....as I didn't recognize. When I saw the big mountain on the efy side...I thought itt was the Garajau. But after It was clear to me that wasn't. I wish you both all the best!. Congratulations!. Tell me (if you feel comfortable too do so) what area is that? If not I will totally understand!
